You are not tired. You must overcome it with liters of coffee.

 

[Furinkazen]

I don't like coffee...

I am considering taking ECU off of the Infiniti, and putting Engine Stage 3 on the Audi. Feel free to test them.

Retested the Infiniti with and without the ECU, got down to a 1.27.0 without the ECU and messed up the first sector with the ECU but I reckon a 1.26.9 is possible, in other words not a great difference. Then got DC'd from the lobby so I'll carry on later

I reckon the bmw should get ecu. It has very little top end punch.

 

[Furinkazen]

I'll set a test lobby up now, won't be on track for a bit.

 

[Furinkazen]

Open now, got an Audi with engine stage 3 now.

 

[Furinkazen]

Anyone else coming?

 

[Furinkazen]

OP updated, severe errors in Suzuki and Mini specs , sorry to Sakery and Atin.

 

[james6653]

On a completely unrelated topic check out my signiture.

 

[Furinkazen]

On a completed related topic:

Audi gets Engine Stage 3, may get weight stage 1.

 

[chrisjohnson93]

managed a 1:39.3 which was good, the car feels a lot better on the medium tyres as i'm quicker by 2 seconds on mediums, still 6 tenths off spurgy's best timea

 

[Furinkazen]

As it stands MAZDA, BMW, HONDA, INFINITI, and SUZUKI specs are frozen and staying as they are.

MINI may get weight break.
VOLKSWAGEN may get a small power boost.
AUDI has received a power boost and may get a weight break.

did anyone test the suzuki tonight?

 

[Michelin]

did anyone test the suzuki tonight?

Spurgy did a bit of testing with it, as I tested the BMW and the Audi.

He tested the Infiniti, and we agreed that those three cars need something to get more acceleration, because that's what they lacking.

For comparison, my top speed with the three cars I tested before leaving the lobby:

Fuji:
CR-Z: 250km/h
BMW: 240km/h
Audi: 239km/h

And the CR-Z could make the turns 2-5km/h slower than the BMW and the Audi could make.

 

[chrisjohnson93]

which track did you test at?

 

[Furinkazen]

Bear in mind the natural tyre wear advantage a RWD and 4WD have over a FWD.

 

[chrisjohnson93]

ain't the honda the worst on tyres?

 

[Furinkazen]

ain't the honda the worst on tyres?

Might be since Volvo's gone. Although a Swift or Mini does smoke em up a bit.

 

[chrisjohnson93]

the car's inside wheel goes red when corning towards the end of the stint when i did my 10 lap run

 

[Spurgy 777]

We tested at Indy
Basically what Mich said, the Honda, Mazda and Infiniti are all on the same pace, and the Suzuki, BMW and the Audi could all do with a boost, Suzuki around the corners and BMW/Audi on the straights. But the Suzuki can't be boosted anymore so there really is no point in picking it

 

[chrisjohnson93]

the mini also needs a boost as it was also off the pace when furi tested it

 

[Furinkazen]

Mini's at max spec (barring weight) and I am always off pace

 

[chrisjohnson93]

doesn't help you've got the fastest driver as your teammate so it makes you look even slower

I am still third in TOCA6 (2nd non-alien) . I reckon i'm just under-rated.

You can always take more weight from the Suzuki (its only on Stage 1, and without Carbon Hood)

Suzuki has carbon hood and cars need to meet a minimum weight of 1000kg. I updated the spec list on the OP tonight.

 

[chrisjohnson93]

will it be independents with the black carbon bonnet and teams with the coloured bonnet
